TOKKO

[kAi]

Just finished watching the first episode, and it's going on very nicely, the sound at the start kinda annoyed the shit outta me.

Seems to be going with the manga nicely, but I wonder as bud said, how will they take in a few episodes time, will the mangaka have much to do with it, hopefully it doesn't get crapped up.

[Kraco]

So I think a couple of people (re: everyone) wants to know what's going on with TOKKO. Here's the deal:

We're working on a re-release of the first episode because quite a bit of people (legitimately) complained about the audio. We found a better raw (and thus, better sound) earlier this week, so we'll redo the sound and re-release it as TOKKO 01v2. As for script content, nothing's changed (besides one word, which will probably not be noticed). Again, if you want better sound, the v2 encode is for you.

Episode two is being held a bit for a reason or two. Primarily, we're making sure the sound and video for this episode are adequate (i.e. waiting for better raws) so we don't want to rush the episode out (since v2's are best avoided when possible).

Expect those two over the weekend or earlier! Aiming to re-release the first episode before the second, so do note that. Otherwise, we hope you understand the reasons behind the delay and think of them as legitimate (well, 'cause they are). Until then, continue to enjoy the rest of the Spring 2006 anime season and we'll (hopefully) see you over the weekend!

Looks like we will get the first ep with better sound soon.

glad that Oyasumi is making the effort to get better RAWs. There was no way I could watch their releases with quality as poor as that first one...

[kAi]

The quality wasn't that bad, it was only the start really, well at least that want to fix what they've released, if they don't believe it was good.

I didn't have much problems with the first episode.

Oyasumi - TOKKO Episode 1 - version 2 -mkv format
finally a better version out, haven't watched this version myself. Added to first post also.

[Ryllharu]

Its a large improvement over the first eps in terms of audio quality and some visually too.

This series is worth continuing, and no there's no reason to be detracted by poor quality raws.

[Honoko]

Just watched the first ep-- really liking it! I didn't watch it right away because I was slightly detracted from the massive amounts of blood and dismemberment but it's not that bad... somehow, I think I was expecting worse based on all the talk here about violence and gore. Elfen Lied and Jojo's Bizarre Adventure still ranks above in gore and violence, in my opinion. Then again, I am basing this off just one episode.

Wow, this is a great new series. The first eps first immpression was a hentai, then a new Elfen Lied. Tight , downloading the second ep.

I can tell this series is gonna be pretty sweet.

I don't think it went that far. Elfen Lied? Maybe... Hentai? No.

nvm...it is quite on the echii side

Lolicon... The dude certainly has a funny sister.

It was a fine episode. Actually nothing much more is known than was after the first episode, aside from the technical aspect how the victims are infected with the bugs and what is the, probably, first encounter of Shindou and the girl from his dreams. Well, I suppose that's enough for one episode, after all. Yeah, and something Shindou apparently inhereted from the incident years ago. Actually it's plenty for one episode.

This certainly seems like a good series, based on the first two episodes. Somehow the graphics don't quite seem as clean as in GTO, but perhaps that's just a false memory.

[Board of Command]

And we also know that Shindou has some hidden power because it shows the markings on his arm. At the end of the OP he's fighting the girl.

Oyasumi has released Episdoe 03

[Kraco]

This series certainly didn't start too fast. The dude hasn't still transferred to Tokko, but at least he's learning something of them and his own relation to the strange, and deadly, happenings.

But damn he has one overenthusiastic sister... Might be about the time for him to move to his own apartment. Although after what happened in this episode, he probably wouldn't do that. Despite being so energetic otherwise, the sister is pretty incompetent what comes to preserving her own life. She's apparently a police officer as well, but obviously working somewhere where no dangers are ever present.

[masamuneehs]

Meh, wasn't quite as enthralled with episode 2 as the first one. It always annoys me when it takes anime characters forever to remember people from their past or who look slightly different...

At least the flashback clarified that Shindou's fugly hair is dyed that way. He would have been better off leaving it brown...

I like the idea of their being a hierarchy of these demons, and the blonde TOKKO girl and the TOKKO major are pretty cool characters. Kunichida (whatever the First Division captain's name is) has the best voice in the series, totally fitting his character, but he seems to be a little stupid.

I'll stick with this one, but it's certainly pretty low on my 'to-watch' list.

[Aeon]

I just watched the first three episodes of Tokko and have to say its pretty awesome. It even has its funny moments like the captain telling his 2nd in command to go get him a tank and a armored helocopter.

[Board of Command]

Ep 3 wasn't that great. Still very little development. Sakura survived the Machida incident...we get it!

[Darknodin]

Animation in ep 2 was really crappy... does it improve in ep 3... because to me, the story isn't that interesting alone... and its NOT a new Elfen Lied.

[darkmetal505]

The first episode freaked me out. A secret cult which tries to cover up the reality of life. Where have I heard that one before?
